What is the essence of spending huge money to relaunch 1xbit when no body cares or gives a damn about them? they just just focus on building 1xbet even to a greater height if they are sure not to carry out the same scam operations on there, or maybe they can just start all over by building a new casino.
It's because they have enough resources to withstand any long-term losses incurred by 1xbit and also because of the reason @Zoomic mentioned. 1xbet is already extremely popular which is why they don't need to devote extra resources towards it.
Linking them with 1xbet, I am not so sure about it. But then 1xbet might be their genuine domain while 1xbit their scam domain.
They are definitely connected to 1xbit since multiple people proved it already within this forum.
